Microsoft Looking for Team 99 Nominations
"I've been asked to restart "Team 99." What was that? Well, Longhorn got its name from the bar that's between Whistler and Blackcomb up in British Columbia. 99 is the road you drive from my house to get up to the Longhorn bar. So, Team 99 is the team that'll take us to Longhorn's launch...The problem is, Microsoft can't deal with millions of people all at once. It's impossible to listen to that loud a crowd. So, let's start small. 20 people to start with. Why 20? It's how many can fit into an average conference room at Microsoft. I want some developers there. Some "super users" like we were talking about last night...How would you nominate members? How about leaving me a note over on Channel 9 on the Team 99 thread? Nominate someone you think would be a good proxy for you and who would tell you the truth about what Longhorn is all about. Tell us why they'd be good for us to invite to Team 99. Some factors? Are they trusted by the community? Are they visible? Do you think they'd give good feedback on your behalf to Microsoft?"
Robert Scoble is looking for nominations for Team 99, and, well, <cough> this is something that I'd like to be a part of, and something that I feel I can contribute to in order to help make Longhorn better. :mrgreen: If you happen to feel that I might be a good addition to this team of volunteers, do me a favour: drop by the Channel 9 forum and post a nomination for me. I'm hoping it's not too late, because I was supposed to post on this weeks ago. ;-)

Posted there this morning.  Good luck...sounds like it's pretty selective, with only 20 people on Team 99.

I don't know, it's starting to look a little strange over there with the sudden influx of "I think Jason Dunn.." posts...
Space them out people

Well, the simple fix for that is to not post any links to us, as one poster over there has. I'd post but I don't think it would be too hard to trace back who I am since my name appears on PPCT's frontpage daily...
Still, I honestly think Jason would be great for the team, so hopefully he'll get some last minute consideration!

Removed the link from my post.
And yes, Jason would really make a great member of Team 99.
